Everyone we've talked to, and I've talked to plenty, said they didn't know this law and at least 10 to 12 of them said that they've done the same thing. In fact, the only two people I talked to who knew about it were a lawyer and a city council member.

It's ridiculous that a public courthouse has elevator problems like this. We have enough other problems to deal with here. But broken elevators are not a once-in-a-while occurrence.
